学术期刊越来越多地要求全面披露财务利益冲突（CoI）。出版道德委员会向编辑提供有关涉嫌不披露情况下的行动方针的指导。没有先前的研究已经检查了心理社会干预的期刊文章披露CoI的程度，以及期刊编辑如何处理检查可疑的未披露CoI的请求。研究了四项国际传播的心理社会干预措施。检索了136篇与干预相关的文章，这些文章由干预开发人员共同撰写，发表在健康科学期刊上，需要CoI声明。两名编辑拒绝同意被纳入研究。对134篇文章的COI披露和编辑回复进行了编码。总体而言，92/134（71%）的文章被发现有缺失，不完整或部分误导性的CoI披露。四个项目的披露率在11%和73%之间差异很大。期刊编辑联系了92篇未披露CoI或被认为有问题的披露的已发表文章。在65/92（71%）的所有病例中，编辑发表了“勘误”或“更正”。在其中16个案例中，《华尔街日报》对提交的披露处理不当。最常见的未发表勘误的原因是期刊在发表时没有披露政策（16例）。在同行评审期刊上发表的心理社会干预研究的消费者目前不能假设CoI披露是充分和完整的。需要作出更多努力来实现透明度。
Academic journals increasingly request a full disclosure of financial conflict of interest (CoI). The Committee for Publication Ethics provides editors with guidance about the course of action in the case of suspected non-disclosure. No prior study has examined the extent to which journal articles on psychosocial interventions disclose CoI, and how journal editors process requests to examine suspected undisclosed CoI. Four internationally disseminated psychosocial interventions were examined. 136 articles related to an intervention, coauthored by intervention developers and published in health sciences journals were retrieved as requiring a CoI statement. Two editors refused consent to be included in the study. COI disclosures and editor responses were coded for 134 articles. Overall, 92/134 (71%) of all articles were found to have absent, incomplete or partly misleading CoI disclosures. Disclosure rates for the four programs varied significantly between 11% and 73%. Journal editors were contacted about 92 published articles with no CoI disclosure or a disclosure that was considered problematic. In 65/92 (71%) of all cases the editors published an 'erratum' or 'corrigendum'. In 16 of these cases the journal had mishandled a submitted disclosure. The most frequent reason for non-publication of an erratum was that the journal had no disclosure policy at the time of the publication (16 cases). Consumers of research on psychosocial interventions published in peer-reviewed journals cannot currently assume that CoI disclosures are adequate and complete. More efforts are needed to achieve transparency.
